Argh! Careful mods about shutting down threads based on hypotheticals

[Mt Tam I am]

I never saw the thread(s) in question.

Hypotheticals must be allowed as part of the conversation here or anywhere.

Undoubtedly somebody will see the last answer and goes off with ex. "Last night the same thing happened to me where I smoked a .......... on the street." Then it all goes downhill and the thread closes.

I prefer the mods to scrub the thread if possible first, but I do not want their job. If someone thinks they can do a better job then step up to the plate and become a moderator. I never will, as I can not do a better job.
